That being said, I probably won’t listen to it again, the details of the surgical removals are not something I’d like to hear about again.

It sounds to me like Sarah is schooled in surgical technique. I really enjoyed the graphic nature of the story. If this is what is to come in the future for criminals, I don't think I'll be committing any crimes. Well done Sarah.</p> Good story with great descriptive value.

This is my first comment on a pod story, but wow, this one was downright spooky. I used to work as a tissue recovery tech for our local Lion Eye Bank, and would drive around at night to various morgues and remove corneas or whole globes from deceased donors. The intro to this story grabbed me because the doctor was removing the eye, THEN the big wham of the patient being alive!</p> <p>It was always a nightmare image I had while doing a recovery that that the donor wasn't actually dead, and they'd sit up screaming while I was cutting out their cornea's. So I thought this story was going to along that line, I never thought it would be done as a punishment for a crime. Which for me made it all the more spooky.</p> Wow!

I could have done without the "driving in search of the light" ending. I think it was quite clear (more than clear enough) what the overall message was. The reading was excellent; very dramatic.</p> I enjoyed the story for the most part, but I felt it was a bit heavy-handed. I could have done without the “driving in search of the light” ending.
